The School was initially associated with the travel bureau of USIT (Union of Students in Ireland) for administrative purposes. However, the commercial element to this arrangement was inconsistent with the academic aims of the School and the association ended in 1974 when the School was set up as a non-profit making company limited by guarantee. Throughout its existence the School was registered as a charity, received no government funding and relied totally on student fees. Any surplus was put back into the School to develop the library and other facilities. From 1972 to 1974 it was based in Harcourt Street. In 1976 the School became a tenant of the RDS and rented a portion of the premises Thomas Prior House in Ballsbridge. The student body was drawn primarily from North America and Canada. From the outset it sought to fill a gap for foreign students in the Irish third level education sector, offering a framework where credits could be accumulated and certified for use in the student’s home universities.

  • 1987, by Peter Wyse Jackson
    opite Macurite T9;1441411/ lier ad& aide, oey4e yad. The cover illustration is: Nesocodon mauritianus (I.B.K. Richardson) Thulin The plant is a endemic monotypic genus from the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius where is occurs at a single locality on a high vertical cliff in the south-west of the island. There the population is small and vunerable. The plant is now grown in cultivation for the first time in the College Botanic Garden having been introduced from seed during a conservation expedition to Mauritius in 1985. The species has pale blue corolla. A striking feature of the flowers in the abundant orange-red nectar produced in five nectaries situated at the base of the corolla. This drawing was made by Maura Greene of a specimen in flower during October 1986. The scale is 12- life-size. ACYNOWLEDGENENTS I am very grateful to the help given to me in the preparation of this brief account of the garden's history by Dr. E.C. Nelson, particularly with regard to the early history of the College Physic Gardens, on which he has carried out so much valuable research. My thanks are also due to Professor D.A. Webb for his useful comments on the manuscript. The cover illustration of Nesocodon mauritianus was drawn by Maura Greene and the maps of Trinity Hall and the present botanic garden by Trevor Holloway. I am 1 grateful also to Mr. Denis McKennedy who first introduced me to the garden and told me much about the move from Ballsbridge to the present site.
